Why Separating stops are the real superheroes of the production line (and nobody knows it)
In the world of industry, there's the equipment that everyone admires: the ultra-precise robots, the sophisticated conveyors, the machines capable of producing at infernal rates. And then there are the pallet stops.
Nobody talks about them. No engineer wakes up at night thinking: “Tomorrow, I'm going to revolutionize my production with a pallet-stop”. And yet... when they're not there, it's absolute chaos.
The Day Your Logistics Went Off Script
Imagine a conveyor system loaded with heavy pallets.
A robot handles them with surgeon-like precision.
Everything seems under control : Until one pallet decides it’s had enough of waiting… and makes a run for it.
Now picture several hundred kilos rolling freely down the line.
Not exactly the kind of surprise you want in your production area.
This is where Wörner pallet stops step in.
Small component, massive impact.
- They don’t make noise.
- They don’t take breaks.
- They don’t make mistakes.
Their job? Stop your pallets at the right place, at the right time, so your conveyor doesn’t turn into a high-stakes bowling alley.
Why Are They Essential?
- Flow Control: Without them, pallets move at their own (often unpredictable) pace.
- Shock Reduction: When a 500 kg pallet crashes into another 500 kg pallet, you don’t just get a dent, you get downtime, damaged goods, and safety risks.
- Production Optimization: Controlled flow = fewer stops, less stress, and a more reliable operation.
- Smart Pneumatic Reset: Automatic rearming means fewer manual interventions, fewer errors, and smoother operations.
BIBUS France & Wörner: A Rock-Solid Partnership
At BIBUS France, we believe in simple, reliable, effective solutions.
That’s why we offer Wörner pallet stops, specifically designed for heavy-duty conveyor systems:
- Robust and dependable, even in the toughest industrial environments
- Built to manage high loads and deliver reliable stopping and timing functions
- Compatible with pneumatic reset systems for continuous flow, minimal disruption
In industrial automation, we talk a lot about performance, precision, and productivity.
But without proper control over pallet flow, none of it holds together.
These devices may go unnoticed—until they’re gone. Then it’s chaos.
Is your logistics really under control?
If you’re not 100% sure or if this reminded you of a past runaway pallet incident, we can help.
